CEREPLAS™ OTM (Unstabilised)

Product information

Product Name
CEREPLAS™ OTM (Unstabilised)
Description

CEREPLAS™ OTM is produced by the controlled esterification of trimellitic anhydride and 2-ethylhexanol. It is a clear, virtually colorless and almost odorless liquid, miscible with inert organic solvents but immiscible with water.

CEREPLAS™ OTM is designed for use in flexible PVC applications where low volatility and resistance to high temperature environments is required, typically in high temperature cables. The low rates of migration of CEREPLAS™ OTM from PVC ensures long service life and is strongly recommended for low “fogging” applications such as automotive internal trim. As a base ester in functional fluids, it typically finds use in high temperature chain oils.

For medical applications where CEREPLAS™ OTM is a perfect replacement for 2-ethylhexyl phthalate, we also offer a higher purity grade: CEREPLAS™ OTM HP.
